l EDGE-SETER'I'RON WITH'STITCH-WH'EEL.

Be it known` that I, MARTIN FREDRIox LINDBERG, a subject of the King of Sweden, and a resident of Helsingborg, Sweden, have invented a new 4and useful Improvement in Edge-Setter Irons with Stitch-Wheels, of

'which the following is a specification, reference being had to the drawings accompanyingrand forming a part hereof.

- his invention relates tok im rovements in edge-setter irons lwith stitch-w eel.

The chief object of my invention is to make the stitch-wheel adjustable for soles of different thickness; and the invention consists principally in the combination, with an edge-setter iron with stitch-wheel, of means for displacing the stitch-wheel in a direction vat right or substantially right angles to the pin or axle vof the stitch-wheel, as will be more. clearly explained herebelow.

, Inv the accompanying drawings I have shown in fullsize an embodiment of my invention.

`Figure 1 shows a side elevation of the iron.-

Fig. 2 is` a longitudinal section thereof, and

Fig..3 shows a toj view of the same.

Referring to t e drawings, the edge-setter iron is.of well-known shape, having at the i front end a working surface 2 and at the rear "end a sleeve or socket 3, by means of which 4 the iron in the usual manner is secured to the which engages a pin 9, rotatablyjournaled in l yoscillating shaft of the machine in which vtools of the present kind are commonly used.

` In the body of the iron may, as is shown in a sleeve 10, which is inserted in a correspondj ing hole 11 in the said sliding piece 6. The

stitch-wheel 7 may be secured to the said pin in any suitable manner-for instance, by a sup-screw 12 or the like-while a head 13 or the like on the inner end of the pin prevents` 5 o the latter from moving axally in the sleeve 1 0.

In order that the sleeve 10 may be adjust- Specification of Letters Patent.'-

ed longitudinally, the ysliding piece 6 may be I in the shape of a screw-clamp, as is shown, by means of which the sleeve 10 may be secured in any desired position. The object of this adjustabilityis to render it `ossible to maintain the position of the stitc -wheel in relation to the iron 1 according as the same The pin may be su plied with grease through a hole 14, and sai grease can never spread itself onto the front surface of stitch-wheel, owing-to the fact that the front surface ofl the stitch-wheel is imperforate. This is a special advantage of my im roved edge-setter iron, inasmuch as the overleather ofthe shoes cannot be soiled bythe grease used for lubricating the said pin 9v. The sliding piece 6 may be guided by a pin 15, made integral with or rigidly secured to the same and colperating with a set-screw 16 or the like for eeping the sliding piece in position. The inclination ofthe slot 4 relative to the bottom surface of the body 1 is such that the stitch-wheel can be displaced in a direction at right or substantially right angles to its pin or axle. f

` As will be easily understood from the foregoing description, the stitch-wheel may be easily adjusted for different thicknesses of shoe-soles by raising or lowering the sliding piece 6 in the slot and for maintaining its position relative to the iron, according as the,

latter is worn, by dis lacing the sleeve 10 longitudinally in the s iding piece 6. l

Obviously the edge-setter iron above d'e-f scribed may be modified in details without de arting from the principle of the invention. l aving now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to'secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of, an'edge-setter iron provided with a slot inclined backward inreation to the bottom surface of the iron, a'

sliding piece rovided in the said slot, means for keeping t e said sliding (piece in position, and a stitchheel journals in the said sliding piece, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2.
